Explaining roofing waste separately from net area
Net roof area and an ordering allowance should remain distinct quantities in a proposal discussion.
A practical approach
Show the measured area separately from the selected waste assumption and package rounding. Ask the estimator to confirm the allowance for the chosen material system and roof complexity. Do not apply the same allowance twice when moving figures between the report, proposal and order. Keep the calculation traceable to the saved revision.
Put it into practice
- Separate net area and allowance
- Confirm the material assumptions
- Check for double counting
